Credit: Eric LucAfter initially being available exclusively on Apple Music, Paul McCartney's new "Who Cares" video, co-starring Oscar-winning actress Emma Stone, can now be viewed on YouTube and other media outlets.

As the clip begins, we see Stone holding a newspaper over her head as she enters a building on a rainy day. She then walks up to a door with a sign that reads: "Dr. Lorenz, Behavioral Hypnotist, Meteorologist." When she enters the room, she meets the doctor -- portrayed by McCartney -- who begins to chat with her.

Sir Paul comments, "It's a bit unruly here. But so it goes. Disorder. Out of order. Order out of disorder. It all gets a bit chaotic sometimes, doesn't it? But clearly I can see I don't have to tell you that."

McCartney then asks a tense-looking Stone if she's nervous, anxious and skeptical about the impending treatment. "Yes," she says, adding, "If I bark like a dog every time someone says cat I won't be very pleased."

Paul then opens a box featuring spinning disc and tells her to look at it while counting down from 10. We hear "Who Cares" fading in as, suddenly, Emma appears in a cartoonish dream world wearing harlequin makeup and an orange wig, where she's harassed by a group of mime-like dancers.

In various scenes, the dancers jump into Stone's ears, throw knives at her while she's strapped to a circular board, chase her as she drives with McCartney in a cardboard car, and crowd into an elevator with her.

Emma eventually spits the dancers out of her mouth and blows them away.

She then wakes up in an empty room, with a note the doctor placed on her newspaper telling her not to forget her umbrella.

News and Guts Media/AXS TVThe latest season of AXS TV's The Big Interview comes to a close tonight with an episode featuring founding Allman Brothers Band singer/guitarist Dickey Betts. On the show, which premieres at 9 p.m. ET/6 p.m. PT, Betts discusses his decision to return to performing this year after about four years of retirement.

In a preview clip from the program, Betts tells host Dan Rather that when he decided to retire from performing, he'd felt that, at age 70, "I'd just done it [for] so long…I'm just gonna play golf and go fishing. You know, enjoy myself."

Dickey, who turned 75 last week, admits to Rather, "I really started missing being on the road and, you know, getting out and doing things like this [program] and meeting people."

He adds with a laugh, "I feel kind of like Tiger Woods…coming back after four-and-a-half years. I'm really trying to play par, you know?"

As for whether he was feeling like he was up to speed musically again at the time of the interview, Betts laughs, "I don't think you ever feel like you're there, you know, but I'm getting better at it!"

Also in the episode, Betts talks about continuing the Allman Brothers' legacy; discusses his often volatile relationship with the group's late frontman, Gregg Allman; and shares details about writing classic tunes like "Ramblin' Man" and "Jessica."

Unfortunately, Betts has experienced some health issues since taping his episode of The Big Interview. In August, he canceled a series of U.S. concerts after he experienced what was described as a "mild stroke."

Then, in September, Dickey suffered bleeding on the brain after he fell and hit his head in his backyard. He underwent successful surgery, and is reportedly in the process of recovering.

The World Needs a Hero was Megadeth's last album before the band broke up in 2002 due to frontman Dave Mustaine suffering nerve damage that left him unable to play guitar.

As he recovered, Mustaine intended to launch a solo career with what would become The System Has Failed, though contract issues required it to be characterized as a Megadeth album. The System Has Failed was the first Megadeth album without original bassist and founding member David Ellefson, who would eventually rejoin the band in 2010.

Megadeth's most recent album is 2016's Dystopia, and they intend to release new music in 2019. They'll also be opening for Ozzy Osbourne on his North American No More Tours 2 trek, launching in May, and they'll host the inaugural MegaCruise in October.

Republic RecordsJohn Mellencamp's new covers collection, Other People's Stuff, has debuted at #7 on the Billboard 200, making it the singer/songwriter's highest-charting album in a decade. The record earned 44,000 album equivalent units, almost all of which were from album sales.

Mellencamp last album to reach #7 on the Billboard 200 was 2008's Life Death Love and Freedom. In all, the 67-year-old Rock & Roll Hall of Famer has had 11 albums crack the tally's top 10.

The sales of Other People's Stuff were boosted by a special deal that offered copies of the album with tickets purchased for Mellencamp's 2019 U.S. tour.

Other People's Stuff features John's renditions of 10 songs composed by other artists, nine of which were previously released either on his own studio albums, tribute records or other projects. The sole new recording is a studio version of the civil-rights anthem "Eyes on the Prize," which Mellencamp previously performed live at the White House in 2010 as part of the "Celebration of Music from the Civil Rights Movement" event.

The upcoming trek, dubbed "The John Mellencamp Show," kicks off February 7 in South Bend, Indiana, and is mapped out through an April 30 concert in Albuquerque, New Mexico.

Credit: Robert KnightJourney wrapped up its 2018 concert schedule with a show on Sunday in Reno, Nevada, but next year guitarist Neal Schon will at least partly be focusing on Journey Through Time, a new outfit he's formed that's inspired by his band's early music.

Journey Through Time also features founding Journey and Santana singer/keyboardist Gregg Rolie, ex-Journey drummer Deen Castronovo, bassist Marco Mendoza of Dead Daisies and Thin Lizzy, and another musician named Chris Collins. According to a recent post on Schon's Twitter feed, "Dates are being booked now [for a Journey Through Time tour] and you will hear soon!" Neal also has posted an animated poster apparently promoting the trek on Twitter that reads, "In the Beginning and Beyond: Neal Schon's Journey Through Time," along with the other band members' names.

Journey Through Time, minus Collins, made its debut at an intimate February 2018 concert in San Francisco that Neal organized to help those affected by the fires that devastated the Bay Area around that time. The group's set leaned heavily on material from Journey's first six albums, all of which featured contributions from Rolie.

Rolie and Castronovo shared vocal duties at the benefit. In a Twitter message posted beneath the aforementioned poster, Neal refers to Deen as "the baddest a** singing drummer on this planet."

On his own Twitter feed, Castronovo commented on his participation in Journey Through Time, saying, "I will do the best I can with the songs you and I love[,] grew up with, And Cherish. I'm no [Steve Perry] nor an [Arnel Pineda] but will try to honor the 'Voices' and the Legacy.. I owe you all this."

Credit: Inez & VinoodhHere's wishing a very "Happy" birthday to a guy who truly seems to have time on his side: The Rolling Stones' legendarily indestructible guitarist Keith Richards, who turns 75 today.

Richards, known for his ever-present cigarette and his infamous love of hard drugs and alcohol, recently revealed to Rolling Stone magazine that he virtually quit drinking about a year ago...and apparently gave up the harder stuff years before that.

Richards, of course, has co-written nearly all of The Rolling Stones' classic songs with his longtime band mate and writing partner Mick Jagger. He's also responsible for many of the classic guitar riffs that drive those tunes -- think "(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction."

As Keith moves into the latter portion of his eighth decade on the planet, he and The Stones will launch a new U.S. leg of its No Filter Tour. The trek kicks off on April 20 in Miami Gardens, Florida, and currently is mapped out through a June 25 concert in Chicago.

He tells Rolling Stone that he's taking the future "one tour at a time," Richards also admits that the upcoming trek "could be the last one," although he insists that he hopes he and the band keep going.

"It's what I do, man," Keith declares. "Give me 50,000 people and I feel right at home. As [fellow Stones guitarist] Ronnie [Wood] and I often say before we go on, 'Let's get onstage and get some peace and quiet.'"

RepriseNeil Young has revealed that he's planning to release an expanded version of his acclaimed 1990 album with Crazy Horse, Ragged Glory.

In a post on his Neil Young Archives site, the folk-rock legend reports that the revamped collection "will be twice the size" of the original release, thanks to material from the sessions that's been rediscovered by frequent co-producer John Hanlon.

"Listening to these tracks is a real head-scratcher," Neil explains. "They are equal to anything on the existing record, maybe better. Possibly, the thought at the time was to have a single album and not include the songs from the last half of the unique 'set oriented' recording sessions."

Recalling the Ragged Glory sessions, Young says they "were unique because the band played a set of songs twice a day at Plywood Analog for a couple of weeks, then went back, listened and chose best tracks after the two weeks were up."

He adds that after the set of tunes that became Ragged Glory were played enough to have the best usable takes recorded, he and Crazy Horse, "having a great time, kept playing other songs...Five songs, with two versions of one, and one long extended take of another, yielded another 38 minutes of Crazy Horse classics, mostly undiscovered and unheard before."

Young says the revamped record will be called Ragged Glory II, and will be released as a double album on CD, vinyl and high-resolution digital, probably in 2019. He maintains that the album's release could possibly delay other planned projects.

Myriam SantosSteve Perry has had a big year and he's thanking his fans with a little holiday gift.

This year, the former Journey frontman released Traces, his first new album of original material in 24 years. He writes on Twitter and Instagram, "This has been a big year of firsts for me. In keeping with that spirit, I thought I'd record a little Christmas card song and send it out to you to thank you for all of your kindness in welcoming me back. Have yourself a merry little Christmas. I hope you enjoy it."

Along with that message, he's posted a version of the holiday classic "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas" that runs just under two minutes. You also can check out the track on his official YouTube channel.

So far, there's no word on whether or not Perry will follow up the album with a tour.

Credit: Kelly A. SwiftSeason 15 of NBC's The Voice comes to a close with a two-part finale this week airing Monday at 8 p.m. ET and Tuesday at 9 p.m. ET, and The Doobie Brothers will be among the guest musicians who will perform with the final four contestants.

According to an exclusive Billboard report, the veteran rockers will join Chris Kroeze, a Wisconsin musician on coach Blake Shelton's team, for a rendition of the band's 1973 hit "Long Train Runnin'" on tonight's program.

Kroeze previously performed the song on the November 26 episode of the popular singing competition. The other music stars slated to hit The Voice's stage with various finalists this week are R&B singer Kelly Rowland and country acts Rascal Flatts and Dan Shay.

The winner of The Voice's season 15 will be crowned during Tuesday night's two-hour finale. The show also will feature performances by current Voice coaches Kelly Clarkson and Jennifer Hudson, as well as John Legend, Dierks Bentley, Halsey, DJ Marshmello, Bastille, Panic! at the Disco and more.

Last month, The Doobie Brothers played two historic concerts at the Beacon Theatre in New York City at which they performed their second and third studio albums -- 1972's Toulouse Street and 1973's The Captain and Me -- in their entirety. The band had never played any of its full albums live before. The Doobies have yet to confirm any 2019 tour dates.

Greg Campbell/WireImage for NARASJoe Osborn, who played bass for many years with the acclaimed collective of Los Angeles studio musicians known as the Wrecking Crew, died Friday of pancreatic cancer at age 81, reports Rolling Stone.

Danny Tedesco, director of the 2008 documentary The Wrecking Crew, confirmed Osborn's death to the magazine and also wrote a tribute to him on the film's official Facebook page.

Osborn served as an L.A. session bassist from 1964 to 1974. Among the many classic hits he played: Simon and Garfunkel's "Bridge over Troubled Water," The Mamas and the Papas' "California Dreamin'," Neil Diamond's "Holly Holy," The Fifth Dimension's "Aquarius/Let the Sunshine In," The Grass Roots' "Midnight Confessions," The Association's "Windy," Richard Harris' "MacArthur Park," America's "Ventura Highway" and The Carpenters' "Close to You."

As Tedesco explains in his tribute, the Louisiana-born Osborn began his career in the late 1950s playing guitar with rockabilly artist Dale Hawkins, and then spent four years playing bass in Ricky Nelson's band, contributing to such classic songs as "Hello Mary Lou" and "Travelin' Man."

After his stint in L.A., Joe relocated to Nashville, and became a highly sought-after session musician there, backing such artists as Kenny Rogers, Mel Tillis and Hank Williams, Jr. He also appeared on a few Neil Young albums, including the country-flavored Comes a Time and Old Ways.

"Over the years, he was always there when we needed him for a concert or screening [to promote the documentary]," writes Tedesco, whose late father, Tommy, played guitar with the Wrecking Crew.

"Even though he was a quiet man, I could see the sparkle in his eyes when he saw the love of his fans. I called him a gentle bear."

The short film was inspired by the anti-bullying message of the former Beatles star's tune, which appears on his recently released studio album, Egypt Station. The video, co-directed by Sir Paul's frequent tour photographer Brantley Gutierrez and veteran choreographer Ryan Heffington, features McCartney and Stone drawn into a surrealistic, cartoonish world where they're pursued by mime-like dancers donning black-and-white harlequin makeup.

"My hope is that if there are kids being bullied -- and there are…Maybe by listening to this song and watching this video, they might just think it's not as bad," Paul notes, "that it's the kind of thing you can just stand up to and laugh off and get through."

In conjunction with the song and video, McCartney is partnering with the activism-minded production company Creative Visions and other organizations to launch a new campaign dubbed #WhoCaresIDo that seeks to inspire people to promote positivity and stand up to bullying and negativity.

As part of the initiative's goal, Creative Visions is building a coalition of nonprofit contributors that help create organizations and resources to spread the song's compassionate message to homes, communities and workplaces.

"Millions of people around the world feel silenced, subjugated -- bullied -- and believe that no one cares," says Creative Visions founder Kathy Eldon. "Our intention with this campaign is to put the power of the song to work and inspire us to show up and care -- and let others know that we do care."

After being available exclusively on Apple Music for 24 hours, the "Who Cares" video will be viewable via other outlets starting Tuesday.

Billboard reports -- and fan-recorded video shows -- that Wood and Starr hit the stage with McCartney and his band to play a rousing rendition of The Beatles' "Get Back." At the start of the performance, Sir Paul first brought out Ronnie and then brought Ringo on stage, announcing to the crowd, "Ladies and gentlemen, the ever-fantastic Mr. Ringo Starr!"

Starr hugged Wood and McCartney and flashed his trademark peace signs to the audience before jumping behind a second drum kit set up directly behind his old band mate.

At the end of the song, Ringo hugged Paul and Ronnie again, then came up to the mic and told the crowd: "I don't know about you, it's a thrill for me. Peace and love, everybody, and have a Merry Christmas! Thank you!"

According to Billboard, this marked the first time McCartney and Starr performed together at a concert in England since 2002. More recently, the duo played several songs together at the 2015 Rock & Rock Hall of Fame induction ceremony in Los Angeles, where Sir Paul inducted Ringo into the Hall in conjunction with him receiving the Award for Musical Excellence.

McCartney will launch the 2019 edition of his Freshen Up Tour with a March 20 concert in Santiago, Chile. He'll begin a U.S. leg of the trek on May 23 in New Orleans.

earMUSICHeart has unveiled a new preview of its upcoming concert video, Live in Atlantic City, featuring the band performing the title track of its 1980 album Bébé Le Strange with help from Jane's Addiction guitarist Dave Navarro. The clip has been posted on the earMUSIC label's YouTube channel.

As previously reported, Live in Atlantic Citywill be released on January 25, 2019, in multiple audio and video configurations. The concert, which took place in March 2006 in Atlantic City, New Jersey, originally was filmed for an episode of the VH1 series Decades Rock Live!

At the show, Heart played a set featuring many of its hits, as well as a few cover tunes. A variety of musical guests hit the stage with the band, including Navarro, Alice in Chains, Guns N' Roses bassist Duff McKagan, singer/songwriter Rufus Wainwright, and country stars Carrie Underwood and Gretchen Wilson.

In addition to "Bébé Le Strange," Navarro lent his guitar talents to renditions of "Straight On" and "Crazy on You," as well as to a cover of Led Zeppelin's "Misty Mountain Hop." Alice in Chains played two of their own well-known tunes -- "Would?" and "Rooster" -- with Heart and McKagan. Wainwright sang "Dog & Butterfly" with Heart, Gretchen Wilson teamed up with the group for "Even It Up" and a version of the Led Zeppelin classic "Rock 'n' Roll," and Underwood joined the band to belt out the power ballad "Alone."

Live in Atlantic City will be available on CD, vinyl LP, DVD and Blu-ray. The DVD and Blu-ray will include a bonus video feature called Heart Confidential.

In October, another video clip from Live in Atlantic City featuring Heart performing its 2004 song "Lost Angel" was posted on earMUSIC's YouTube channel.

Each episode of the hour-long show features one or more well-known artist conversing about various topics with a friend at a small New York venue.

The new season kicks off January 7 on select public-TV stations and January 13 on the WORLD public-television channel with an episode featuring Sting and his recent collaborator Shaggy, with whom he recorded the new reggae-flavored album 44/876. On the program, the two artists will discuss the making of the record, their Jamaican connection, James Bond, Miles Davis and more.

The other Speakeasy episodes will feature Elliott chatting with Rolling Stone writer/editor David Fricke; Gibbons talking with radio personality Eric Holland; Skynyrd's Gary Rossington, Johnny Van Zant and Rickey Medlocke in conversation with music journalist Rob Tannenbaum; McDonald being interviewed by his one-time producer Russ Titelman; and Kravitz talking with his pal Sean Lennon.

Full episodes of Speakeasy also will be streamed at SpeakEasyTalks.com. You can check out preview clips of Sting and Shaggy's conversation at Front and Center's official YouTube channel.

Rossington says of his and his Skynyrd band mates' experience taking part in an episode of the program, "We had a blast doing Speakeasy. We've been reminiscing a lot on our farewell tour this year and it was so cool to sit down with fans in such a small theater and share some of those memories with them."

The Springsteen on Broadway special features a full performance of the rock legend's show at the Walter Kerr Theatre in New York City, shot in front of a private audience in July of this year. The production was written by The Boss and combines spoken-word segments from his 2016 memoir, Born to Run, with stripped-down renditions of some of his original tunes. Bruce's wife, E Street Band backing singer Patti Scialfa, makes a special appearance, singing two tunes with her husband during the show.

The special was directed and co-produced by Thom Zimny, who previously has worked on various Springsteen documentaries, as well as the 2018 HBO doc Elvis Presley: The Searcher.

The Springsteen on Broadway show opened in October 2017, and has been one of the hottest tickets on Broadway since its premiere. In June, Bruce was presented with a special Tony Award honoring the production.

Here is the full track list of Springsteen on Broadway soundtrack:

"Growin' Up"*"My Hometown"*"My Father's House"*"The Wish"*"Thunder Road"*"The Promised Land"*"Born in the U.S.A."*"Tenth Avenue Freeze-Out"*"Tougher than the Rest" -- with Patti Scialfa*"Brilliant Disguise" -- with Patti Scialfa*"Long Time Comin'"*"The Ghost of Tom Joad"*"The Rising""Dancing in the Dark"*"Land of Hope and Dreams""Born to Run"*

The 15-second clip, which has been posted on Sir Paul's Facebook, Twitter and Instagram pages, shows glimpses of McCartney and Stone in a few theatrically cartoonish scenarios. At one point, Paul and Emma -- who's wearing a bright-orange wig and black-and-white facepaint -- are seen driving in a cardboard-cutout car as a group of actors wearing similar black-and-white faces chase them while flailing their arms in the air.

"Who Cares" is featured on McCartney's latest studio album, Egypt Station. In a "Words Between the Tracks" YouTube feature promoting the record that was posted in September, Paul discusses what the song is about.

"I was imagining young fans, or young people generally, who might hear this and who are going through some sort of problem where they're being picked on," McCartney says. "And these days it would be internet bullying, trolls and all that…I know that happens all over the world to millions of people, so my thing was to try and help, almost give some sort of advice."

Stills, who lived in Gainesville during the 1950s and early '60s and briefly was enrolled in the U. of Florida, also will be a speaker at the ceremony, to be held at the college's Ben Hill Griffin Stadium.

The event is scheduled to run from 9 a.m. to 11 a.m. ET, and will be streamed live at commencement.ufl.edu.

Stephen's many musical achievements include being twice inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, as a founding member of Buffalo Springfield and Crosby, Stills & Nash. He also has enjoyed a successful solo career and most recently he's toured as a duo with folk great Judy Collins in support of their 2017 collaborative album, Everybody Knows.

As a supporter of the University of Florida, Stills donated money to help fund the construction of what is now called the George Steinbrenner Band Building, which houses a rehearsal room named in his honor.

ABC/Heidi GutmanGreen Day has premiered the video for "Youngblood," a track off of the punk trio's latest album, 2016's Revolution Radio.

The clip features live footage from Green Day's Revolution Radio tour and features a whole lot of backstage shenanigans. You can watch it now on YouTube.

Green Day stayed mostly quiet in 2018, though frontman Billie Joe Armstrong pursued a number of different side projects, including his band The Longshot. However, it looks like they'll return in a big way for 2019, as they've been rehearsing some of their classic albums in full, such as 1994's Dookie.

Additionally, Armstrong revealed in a recent Instagram Live session that he's writing new Green Day songs.

The performance, which was part of The View's annual holiday episode, featured the chat show's co-hosts singing backing vocals.

After the performance, Adams revealed that he plans to release a new studio album in March 2019 titled Shine a Light, and announced exclusively that it will include a duet with Jennifer Lopez. Bryan also gave a shout-out to J.Lo's mother, who was in the audience.

Adams will kick off the New Year with a tour of his home country, Canada, which begins January 22 in Moncton, New Brunswick. He then will launch a U.K. trek in support of Shine a Light in February. Love has a series of holiday shows lined up this month in the northeastern U.S.

ABC/Craig SjodinOver the summer, Pearl Jam played two shows in their home town of Seattle. For the second show they were joined by a trio of fellow grunge veterans: Soundgarden guitarist Kim Thayil, and Mudhoney's Mark Arm and Steve Turner.

During the show, they all teamed up for a cover of the Stooges classic "Search and Destroy," and you can watch official footage of the performance now on YouTube.

Pearl Jam released the "Search and Destroy" video as part of their 12 Days of PJ promotion in honor of the holiday season. Each day, the band is sharing exclusive live videos from their 2018 tour. Earlier this week, they shared footage of their performance of Neil Young's "Rockin' in the Free World" with Jack White in Portugal.

Earlier this year, Pearl Jam released a new song called "Can't Deny Me." The grunge icons are thought to be working on a new album, the follow-up to 2013's Lightning Bolt, but the status of that material remains unknown.
